I was playing in the LAPT ticket bonanza last night with Canuck BC! I came in 140th with only 2 buy in and 1 addon for 33 FPP total investment. Only top 2 get step 2 ticket and 3rd to 99th get step 1 ticket. Will hav to give it a go again tonight. Good to see s/he has made it to step 3 already as if s/he only won the ticket last night it is some good play. Good luck on your steps and I will keep trying the ticket bonanza. Marc

Against villain who had been raising plenty, I decided to call with position and play some poker. I seriously thought I was ahead on turn and obviously on the river knew I was good. God bless one outter perfects.

Just to rub it in some - flop top two and villain makes runner runner two pair.

Say it with me: s0stndrd is a luckbox...
